Sobre o livro

The book argues that poverty persists in America because the affluent benefit from it, exploiting the poor by driving down wages and overcharging for housing. The author, Matthew Desmond, calls for collective action to end poverty, highlighting how the wealthy prioritize their own wealth over alleviating poverty. He urges readers to become "poverty abolitionists" and work towards a society of shared prosperity and true freedom. The book draws on history, research, and original reporting to shed light on the systemic issues that perpetuate poverty in the richest country on earth.
